Funny that people are now saying "let it go", rather than "it's going to be great".
We're not even two weeks in, not even attempting to trade at full capacity (limited by covid, which is masking some big trade problems) and yet still supplies and couriers have been disrupted, business are re-assessing their markets. What will it be like in the summer or when trade is back in full flow?
What I do find ironic is that our fisherman now don't even have any more fish, but now they can't even sell all the ones they do have. What is even better is prices to sell to Europe (where most of our fish goes) have gone down, but prices of fish we eat have gone up, so it's lose, lose in an area we were meant to be "winning", it's so $hit it's laughable. Couldn't even get the 0.1% they were aiming for correct, what chance does the 99.9% have.
The point of the thread is a small one, but there's thousands of things like this that the brexshiters will either not have expected, not understood or won't admit they were wrong about. We're all now going to be forced into spending at least the next decade relying on the services sector to bail them out and cover the lost trade, even though the services sector advised against brexit.
Wait until the "just in time" aspect effects out manufacturing, and then we get priced out, it's going to be fantastic (not).
